Christina Applegate spotted this MS symptom 7 years before her diagnosis
appearance on “Good Morning America,” Christina Applegate, 52, and her friend “Sopranos” alum Jamie-Lynn Sigler, 42, sat down with Robin Roberts.“My symptoms had started in the early part of 2021, and it was, like, literally just tingling on my toes,” Applegate said.“And by the time we started shooting in the summer of that same year, I was being brought to set in a wheelchair.
Like, I couldn’t walk that far,” she added, referring to her Netflix show “Dead To Me,” which ran for three seasons on Netflix, from 2019 to 2022.
Applegate revealed that she had been diagnosed with MS in 2021 while filming that series. In a 2022 interview with Variety, Applegate opened up on being diagnosed with the disease while in the middle of filming. “I didn’t know what was happening to me,” she said. “That January, my toes got numb, and I ignored it.
The balls of my foot got numb, and I ignored it. All of a sudden, I’d be, like, falling over. People were like, ‘Oh, it’s just neuropathy.’ At this point, they had to take me with a wheelchair to set because I couldn’t walk if the set was far.
